A Sustainable Solution for Organic Crops
CeraMax® Organic is a biological seed treatment for the prevention of soil-borne fungal diseases like Rhizoctonia spp and Fusarium virguliforme, the causal agent of Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS).
A first-of-its-kind technology, CeraMax Organic is a next-generation seed treatment with environmental stewardship, seed safety, and mixing compatibility attributes for organic farming operations.
How does CeraMax® Organic work?
CeraMax® Organic contains the active ingredient Natamycin, a biological molecule produced by soil bacteria that activates defensive pathways, allowing the seed to utilize genetic resistance to prime its physiology to a ‘protective-ready’ state prior to fungal infection.
Activating natural barriers for early season protection, CeraMax Organic defends plants ‘inside and out’ against soil-borne diseases.
Recognized by the EPA as a bio-pesticide, Ceradis Crop Protection introduced its original CeraMax seed treatment formulation in 2020 for use in conventional corn, soybeans, and wheat.
With the same active ingredient but in a formulation engineered specifically for organic farming, field trials have shown CeraMax Organic to perform equivalent to the original CeraMax formulation.
